Oh, sorry!
You said "Schooner"!

Front elevation diagrams of the Trifle factory have just been delivered. As it is the late 1950s, the original plan to refurbish the bombed out factory has been scrapped in favour of a new factory. Second floor units (L/R) are extraction, blank, window, window. First floor are all windows and Ground is window, door, window, blank.

(Each square is 120 x 120mm and in the "white heat of technology" will be prefabricated off site and fastened to a frame, much like Stanier house in Birmingham.)

I'm really not sure if this will look OK, but I will have a go.

Interesting. Remenicent of the Turner prize winning artist Rachel Whiteread's work This is an example of her work exhibited at the Tate Britain not so long ago. It's fun trying to get your head around her work Max

Well, I'm not sure I get it. Like I didn't get Sy Twambly's scribbling all over the Philadelphia Museum Of Art's walls.....:giggle:

It's definitely art, it was produced by an artist!
But, I modern art is there to make you think. In general it does, whether or not your thoughts are in line with what the artist is trying to say, is exactly the point.

Although it's not in low relief, if you look here between 7mins and 9mins (and elsewhere), you'll see the idea on the large building with the clock and balcony cafe,

Mostly tinplate tends to run too fast, but the considered steady running in this vid allows one to appreciate the rumbling and rock n roll of tinplate. Wonderful.

About twenty years ago, I supervised the renovation of the Modern Art gallery at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. I love art. I'm not too bad at it myself. That said, a display of chipped plaster from the wall of the gallery spread out on a low platform, as if a person took a chisel and chipped a path about eight inches wide and eight feet up the wall, is stretching it for me. A urinal mounted on another wall, a bicycle wheel also wall mounted, a relic sculpture of the torso of a man with all his junk, less his legs and head in purple, simply doesn't do it for me.

The artists name escapes me at the moment, but his piece was a rather large piece of laminated glass with some abstract lines running through it, mounted between two posts. It was transported to the museum and broke on it's way here. When presented with the damaged piece he said, "I like it, display it as it is".

Jackson Pollock threw buckets of paint against a wall and he became famous. My grandchildren splash water colored paints everywhere but on the paper and it's Oh my god !

I like symmetry. But it's fine if someone else likes chaos. That's why they make chocolate and vanilla.

Couple of prints of the Brutalist Trifle factory wall units.

LHS is the large window opening used on all but the ground floor
RHS is the ground floor window designed for privacy.
On the printer is a blank section with no windows.
They are 120mm square, as my printer only does 150mm square and I have learnt not to go right to its limits. I'm going to require about a dozen just to give a flavour of the design. I am going to use 10mm square section wooden dowling to frame each unit. then slop some vaguely concrete colour on it all.
